<p><br /> Todd is a Microsoft Technology Center Architect based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota and is primary focused on data, analytics, and IoT scenarios. Todd&rsquo;s background ranges from application development and architecture to implementation of data and analytics solutions in the field for many years as well as work at a Microsoft ISV prior to joining Microsoft. In addition, Todd has authored several books on Microsoft technologies such as .NET and SharePoint.<br /> <br /> Interviewer: Rajib Bahar<br /> <br /> - Bill Gates said, if he was a fresh college graduate, Artificial Intelligence would have been is top choice for career. I am really interested in learning about what Microsoft is doing in the Artificial Intelligence World! Please give us the big picture of how Cortana Intelligence Suite, Azure ML Studio, and Cognitive Toolkit tie in.<br /> <br /> - How does Microsoft Bot Framework work? What kind of task can it automate? Any limitations or risks? Can it take my conversation and execute commands on a remote server?<br /> <br /> - Crowdsourcing is the practice of obtaining information or input into a task or project by enlisting the services of a large number of people, either paid or unpaid, typically via the Internet.We have seen it's application in social media for fundraising, team collaboration, organizing events. With that said, how does data catalog in Cortana utilize that concept?<br /> <br /> - Customer Churning is a common scenario in any organization either profit or non-profit. Is it easy to implement a solution in Cortana to discover the root cause? How does that approach differ from building charts in Excel or visualizations in PowerBI? I'm curious to learn how would you balance when you need Cortana or some other traditional tool that already exist?<br /> <br /> - Tell us about the books you have written and your Cortana Intelligence suite course in MS Virtual Academy.<br /> <br /> - How can we connect with you in Twitter or other professional network?</p>http://rajib-bahar.com/blogengine/post/2017/06/27/Todd-Kitta-Cortana-Intelligence-Ecosystem-Azure-ML-Studio-MS-Bot-Framework.aspx

<br>
Agenda:
<br>
- Many of us may or may not be aware of "Jupyter Notebook", which is a web application to write codes in various Languages such is R, Python, Julia, node.js, GoLang, Ruby, & Scala. That appliation in turn creates separate process in the Kernel to receive output from the OS and return the output back to the web application. One of the coolest thing you do is to maintain the Kernela on GoLang aka Go. Currently, Data Scientists tend to gravitate toward either R, or Python as language. You're playing with a bit more modern languages in data science. Why Go? How is it more useful in statistical analysis or Data visualization?<br>
- How do you achive reproducibility in data science? <br>
- Most of us heard of Virtual Machine tools such as VMWare, Virtual PC, Virtual Box. This is the 1st time I heard of containers. What are some key benefits of it?Are there websites such as Turnkey hub where you can get some good images of various OS / software / DBMS platforms?<br>
- What are some best practices around deploying Data Science Models? Do you do something similar to DBAs or DataEngineers to run a job at certain frequencies in the day or hour?<br>
- How do you use data pipelines in your project? Is that something used in ETL like Data-Wrangling process?<br>
- Please tell us where we can find you in social media?<br>
